I\u2019m really glad you shared the photo \u2014 this looks serious and painful, especially for a child<\/p>\n
From what I can see, it looks very similar to a blood blister (a blister filled with blood instead of clear fluid). These can become large and dark when pressure or trauma happens while sleeping (for example from tight shoes the day before, friction, or a small injury that wasn\u2019t noticed).<\/p>\n
However, because of the size, dark color, and strong pain, it could also be something more serious like:<\/p>\n
or in rare cases, a reaction to an insect bite that became swollen overnight<\/p>\n
The pressure inside the blister\/swelling can press on the nerves in the sole of the foot, which makes walking extremely painful. Kids often refuse to move the foot when the pressure is strong.<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t try to pop it at home \u2014 because if it is infected, opening it can make it much worse.<\/p>\n
give treatment to stop the pain and swelling<\/p>\n
Is the spot hard or soft when you touch around it?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll help you figure out how urgent it is based on that.<\/p>\n
